Small Business and Socioeconomic Compliance Support

The contract supports post-award activities related to small business representation, socioeconomic status verification, and adherence to federal subcontracting obligations under Small Business Administration programs. It is designed to assist prime contractors in maintaining compliance with federal requirements regarding small business participation, including accurate categorization of subcontractors, verification of socioeconomically disadvantaged status, and proper documentation to fulfill subcontracting goals mandated by federal regulations. This effort ensures transparency, accountability, and alignment with government-wide objectives to promote equitable access to federal contracting opportunities for small and disadvantaged businesses. The contract is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 541611, which corresponds to management consulting services, and is issued by the Department of Defense through the Maritime Supply Chain ESOC Buys office. It was posted on July 20, 2026, with a response deadline of July 23, 2026, indicating a very short turnaround for proposals. Although no specific set-aside type or location details are provided, the scope is narrowly focused on compliance support rather than direct service delivery, requiring specialized expertise in federal procurement regulations and SBA program guidelines. Responses must align with the DIBBS platform, where the full solicitation details can be accessed.
